1. You should just suck it up and stay with the matcoms.

3. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about hotels here in Boston
when I have to book rooms for people coming in to visit here at the office, I book at The Charles Hotel in Cambridge, but that can be pricey.

Sorry!

4. Park Plaza is the best one and is spitting distance from the Common..
My wife and I stayed at the Langham. It's nice, I guess and very close to downtown in the financial district. There's also a hotel at Quincy Market (that might be its name, actually) that I heard is a little run down and noisy in the daytime, but it is at Quincy Market.

9. Park Plaza is a good bet
That's our layover hotel in Boston. I've gone out and walked all over from there at night and never been hassled.

6. Boston's about as safe as NYC at night.
In other words, pay attention and when in doubt hail a cab or ride the T.

It's a tough town for hotel rooms in May because of college commencements and hotel rooms are pricey most of the time. When I need hotel space I stay over in Cambridge so I can't recommend a place in Boston proper, but Copley Square and the Faneuil Hall areas are well situated for tourists.
